An online petition has been launched to find a loving home for a ‘neglected’ dog.

The petition claims the 12-month-old pooch called Meg lives in mud and dirt outside a Derbyshire property.

However, despite the many concerns expressed online, the RSPCA says it has checked on Meg and is satisfied she is healthy and being cared for.

“All she wants is a loving home,” says the change.org petition, which was set up by a Derbyshire woman.

“You can see the love in her eyes.

“She just wants a cuddle and warmth.”

Commenting on the petition – which has so far been signed by 1,348 people – Jeanette Weston said: “It is disgusting that a dog is treated like this, left to suffer out in the open in the horrendous weather we’ve had lately.”
